    Rakim shouldnt have to rap anymore, all rappers should give the nigga 1 point.

    50 was a Mase stan

  10. cOLD Says:

    LF: So I left the pr0n window up on my laptop last night by accident… two lesbos going gold. I always use the incognegro window in google chrome. So wifey goes you watching pr0n with white chicks now?… I said nah there must be a virus of sorts and started laughing to myself.

  11. land Says:

    Rakim making an album = Magic Johnson trying to play in the NBA after catching AIDS … you knew he could still do it, but you just dont wanna see that shit no more …

  12. cOLD Says:

    50 was a Mase stan

    ^ this is true

  13. Smoke Greene Says:

    Damn joe budden and fab might really have beef ova that twitter shit yesterday… Joe telling fab to keep it up and they wont get a pass today. I wanna see these niggas battle
    ===================================
    Joe been wanted to beef Fab cause he’s a jealous nigga and he never really got pass the fact Tahiry was one of Fab’s slores.

    And i don’t think Fab really likes Joe either. Joe seems like the type who rubs everybody the wrong way in some form or fashion (stop it).

    ^word thats why hip hop needs a board… but how would you suggest he eat… He prolly could just tour off the old material soley.

  15. a tribe called quest Says:

    I could careless about this album because of the state of mind Rakim is in. Instead of being this ambassador of hiphop (who should be taking beats from the best producers because he is one of the goats), hes turning down beats from Preemo and featuring only NYC artists like maino on his shit.

    Smfh, talk about selling your self short

  16. I Fux Says:

    Did Mighty Healthy ever drop that rhianna tshirt?

    I need that shit

  17. b-ease Says:

    If Rakim had died after “Know the Ledge”, there would be no questioning his GOAT status. There would be shrines erected (ll) in this niggas honor and memory. As it stands now however, I think top 10 is a slight reach, and top 5 is out of the question. *straight face*

  18. b-ease Says:

    *daps Fux*

  19. I Fux Says:

    He prolly could just tour off the old material soley.
    ^^^^
    word but for some reason i think these old NY Rappers cant tour middle fuck america rinkie dink clubs like a South Artist

    ================================
    He gets props for innovating his style but cxats have taken what he did and ran with it.

    He’s a top 10 GOAT candidate.

    I wouldn’t frown if I saw him on a list.

  22. &What?! Says:

    Joe > Fab anyday of the week.

  23. TheCo!!inB Says:

    lmao @ cOLD
    shit is funny how ethnic women don’t mind you watchin black or latina pr0n, but let it be some white bitches…..topfreaks.com bruh, leave that site open as a default.

    there is not many sicker feelings than getting busted by wifey (or moms) for porn… just a horrible fluttering in the stomach, and the instant urge to scream out loud and eat giant shards of flame broiled glass … there’s no where to disappear and hide quick enough, and the look on wifey/moms face as they confront you, is beyond humiliating … i stopped with the PC porn cause wifey dont handle that shit well, and how you gonna tell your seed (and everyone else) that you and mommy not together no more cause of plumprumps.com … it aint worth it …

  26. cOLD Says:

    smh at Serius attempting to tackle that Crime wave instrumental after Joell Ortiz shitted on it.

  27. Mr. Iceberg Slim Says:

    On the watcher i always skips rakim part

  28. Joe 88 Says:

    Rakim will always have a place in history. Him being or not being in the top 5 or 10 doesn’t really take away from his input to the game. The nigga modernized rap to what it is today, no list can justify that.

    Kinda like Run DMC, might not be looked at as the G.O.A.T group, but it doesn’t really matter, there spot in history is sealed

  29. Brooklyn Strong aka The Elder Says:

    Joe might bring some of that old Fab back. (before R & B Fab)

  30. b-ease Says:

    and how you gonna tell your seed (and everyone else) that you and mommy not together no more cause of plumprumps.com …

    ^^
    I’m out. (c) you know who

  31. a tribe called quest Says:

    Being a pioneer doesnt guarantee you a top 10 spot. Rakim isnt in my top 10

  32. Joe 88 Says:

    >there is not many sicker feelings than getting busted by wifey (or moms) for porn

    *remembers the story land told niggas a few months back*

    *Dies*

    I’m telling you niggas, if you wanna wack off and don’t wanna get caught, go in the bathroom and run some water, works everytime

    ^^
    Nobodys denying that. But theres a difference between being on the GOAT list and being an icon/pioneer. Ra is the latter all day, but the former slips away more and more the more music this nigga makes.

    Is his goatee still gray? No homo.
